Question By: Blast freezing is a rapid freezing process crucial in the food industry for ensuring product safety and maintaining quality. This method uses extremely low temperatures and continuous air circulation to quickly cool foods, significantly faster than regular freezers. For instance, a blast freezer can lower a product's temperature from 160°F to 35°F in just 90 minutes and from 160°F to 0°F in 240 minutes.
Advantages of Blast Freezing
Consumer Safety: Rapid freezing minimizes the time food spends in the temperature danger zone (45°F to 155°F), reducing the risk of bacterial growth.
Quality Preservation: Quick freezing forms smaller ice crystals compared to slow freezing, which prevents damage to food cells, thereby preserving flavor, color, texture, and nutritional value.
